Attending University can be a life-changing experience, opening up opportunities that would otherwise have been out of reach. The University of Aberdeen aims to be open to all, but in reality a student's background can make all the difference to whether they feel able to apply for University and whether they're able to thrive once here. The University of Aberdeen Development Trust offers scholarships to alleviate the financial pressure that can so easily de-rail a student's hopes and dreams.

On Sunday 25th August we will be taking part in the Great Aberdeen Run 'Gold Wave' to support students at the University of Aberdeen through Widening Participation Scholarships.
